“It really has become a new drug”
Facing Frédéric Lopez, seated with his guests, the actor explains: “I had a heart problem and immediately they made me an operation because I had a clogged artery. And suddenly, from that moment, it rang me, it rang me! And I never had a problem where I thought to myself ‘Yeah, you’re fat’, physically, I liked the way I was and I lived well, what. But here, in fact, my body at one point said ‘stop’ and I had no choice. It was either I decide to lose weight, and the doctors told me: ‘it’s either that, or you continue and we lose you’. says the actor before specifying, moved: “There is a doctor who touched me a lot, he said to me: ‘really Mr. Doumbia, it’s not possible, we love you, you can’t leave so young‘. It moved me (he was 39 at the time). It upset me that it came from someone other than my entourage… it clicked.” Then to analyze his situation: “Before, I threw myself into food for all these worries. Me, my refuge was really food! And I liked it. And today I changed the thing. We managed, with Yanis, my sports coach, to put all my anger, my doubts, into sport. As soon as I come to sport, I drop everything. And when I come out, I feel really good. It really has become a new drug.”
